Marked by Fire

The little kitten,

Had burnt both her mittens,

And that drew the guardian's ire.

…

"Oh damn you Blaze,"

"Seek to make me enraged?"

"You must learn to control your fire."

…

Seeing the guardian's spat,

The trembling cat,

Lip quivering, began to cry.

…

But with the guardian's slap,

A stop was put to that,

The guardian made gestures up to the sky.

…

"This world you'll defend,"

"Till day your life ends,"

"Most important, the emeralds of Sol."

…

"You'll master your power,"

"Take it years or mere hours,"

"And that shall be your only goal."

…

So training resumed,

The years by time consumed.

The guardian's will Princess Blaze followed.

…

Her powers increased,

Burning fire released,

While her spirit died, was ever hollowed.

…

All desires forsaken,

Guardian's mantle was taken.

And a princess sat upon a throne.

…

But the price of the flame,

Is of connections refrained,

A guardian is always alone.
